"NEXT: A Primer on Urban Painting" is a documentary exploration of graffiti-based visual art as a world culture. The filmmaker Pablo Aravena profiles the art form in nine countries including the USA, Canada, France, Holland, Germany, England, Spain, Japan and Brazil.
In a combination of visual moments and interviews with sprayers, “writers”, designers, documentarians and other participants within the subculture, the film conveys the dynamism and creative brilliance of this important emerging artistic movement.
